OUR METHOD


WE SELECT CHILDREN WHO FACE MULTIPLE SYSTEMIC OBSTACLES. WE AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES
AS THEY WRITE THEIR OWN STORIES OF HOPE AND RESILIENCE.


OUR MODEL


WE COMMIT TO EACH CHILD FOR THE LONG-TERM.
12+ YEARS, NO MATTER WHAT.

Each child is paired with a paid professional mentor called a Friend.


OUR OUTCOMES

92% of youth go on to enroll in post-secondary education, serve our country or
enter the workforce.

83% of youth receive their high school diploma or GED.

93% of youth remain free from involvement in the juvenile justice system.

98% of youth wait to parent until after their teen years.

PARTNERS



Friends of the Children-Detroit Land Acknowledgement

In alignment with the values of Friends of the Children, as an organization we
acknowledge that our chapter is located on lands that were home to Indigenous
people since time immemorial. Prior to the creation of the United States of
America, this part of the continent was Turtle Island, the home of millions of
diverse and thriving Indigenous people. We acknowledge and respect the inherent
sovereignty and unique cultures of the first peoples of this land.
